Make America Healthy Again? Have we ever been healthy?

I've been in the health field for thirty-five years.

In all that time, I had never heard a news media report on red dyes in food.

For the first time, I'm encouraged by the future of our American food system!

For me, this is not a political issue. I truly want to give people the same opportunities that I have. I know how to read labels and avoid cancer-causing ingredients in my food. Most people don't.

Americans are starting to question our food manufacturers. That's a big first step in eliminating harmful ingredients from food (many of which have been banned in Europe for decades).

Today's podcast, with MAHA advocate and activist Kelly Ryerson, made me sad and mad. Kelly (Glyphosate Girl) discussed the damage glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) does to our environment and bodies.

Kelly has spent years in the trenches explaining why this chemical is so dangerous to anyone who would listen. It's such an easy default to use a heavy chemical load to kill weeks. Did you know there are simple alternatives to using such a large amount of chemicals in farming?

Kelly also explained that while this product is sold in Europe, the company that makes Roundup has created a less toxic alternative for sale in Europe.

This, to me, is mind-blowing!

If they can make a less harmful version that still works for Europe, can't one be made for the US as well?

Toups and Co

It's happened...I'm putting beef tallow on my face, and my skin looks lush, and it doesn't smell like a hamburger :)

I've seen the TikTok videos about beef tallow. I avoided trying it because it sounded like I'd be putting grease on my face.

Enough people asked me about it, so I started reading more information and trying out various tallows.

There was one company that stood out to me.

I feel like I hit a home run with the brand Toups and Co.

I first heard of this brand on a friend's podcast (Holistic Hilda with the Weston A Price Foundation). She interviewed the founder, Emily Toups. She was a mom looking for a solution to her child's skin issues. She was frustrated with the lack of progress with drugstore and prescription meds, so she reached out to a local farmer for tallow.

The rest, as they say, is history. Her daughter is healed, and my skin looks great, haha!

Thank you, Toups Family, for making such excellent products and offering my community a 15% discount.

I'm currently using:

  • Frankincense Skim Balm
  • Blue Tansy Body Oil
  • The Nourishing Skin Care Set (this includes skin balm, body oil, tinted lip chap, and a tallow bar—and it's on sale!).
  • Deodorant - it really works!
